Klebsiella genus as driver of human disease: from infections to non-communicable disorders.

Klebsiella spp. are major contributors to both infectious diseases and non-communicable disorders, with multidrug-resistant strains posing a significant global health threat.

• Why it matters: Understanding the diverse roles of Klebsiella in human health is crucial because they are linked not only to acute infections but also to chronic conditions, highlighting a gap in comprehensive management strategies.
• What they did: The review covers the taxonomy, molecular features, epidemiology, and impact of Klebsiella, along with evidence connecting them to inflammatory, metabolic, and cancerous disorders, and explores targeted treatment approaches.
• The result: Identifying effective interventions and preventative measures can help curb Klebsiella spread, reduce disease burden, and improve health outcomes in both healthcare and community settings.
